| On the Interviewing Trail: May 11th |
|
| It’s interviewing time again. This time the venue is
Hyderabad, the old Muslim capital of Andhra Pradesh. We are staying at the Grand Kakatiya
Hotel, which is surely the finest hotel I have ever been to in India. it is a mixture of
Indian Baroque, and Elegant Postmodern, and the eclecticism wears well. Spacious and
luxurious, our floor of twenty rooms has its own complete reception concierge, a lounge,
and a full dining room. The service is impeccable; staying in this hotel makes me
unwilling to go back to the hardships of the U.S. |

with stories about why they are to be hired, although often, they do not know who Apple
Computers is. They come with the typical cover letter - here is one of the more elaborate: |
|
|
Sir, With an inclination of
building up my career under your level of established organization, I herewith forward my
candidature along with Bio-Data
I am confidant of possessing all required caliber to meet all exigencies
of position and able (sic) to satisfy superior by proving myself an asset to the
organization.
Regards,
etc., etc. |
